Answer:
1.08 s
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Height (h) reached = 1.45 m
Time of flight (T) =?
Next, we shall determine the time taken for the kangaroo to return from the height of 1.45 m. This can be obtained as follow:
Height (h) = 1.45 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Time (t) =?
h = ½gt²
1.45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²
1.45 = 4.9 × t²
Divide both side by 4.9
t² = 1.45/4.9
Take the square root of both side
t = √(1.45/4.9)
t = 0.54 s
Note: the time taken to fall from the height(1.45m) is the same as the time taken for the kangaroo to get to the height(1.45 m).
Finally, we shall determine the total time spent by the kangaroo before returning to the earth. This can be obtained as follow:
Time (t) taken to reach the height = 0.54 s
Time of flight (T) =?
T = 2t
T = 2 × 0.54
T = 1.08 s
Therefore, it will take the kangaroo 1.08 s to return to the earth.
The gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon are greatest when the two bodies are closest together. That happens every 27.32 days, when the Moon is at the perigee of its orbit.
Even if this happened at the same time in every orbit, the date would change, because there are not 27.32 days in a month.
But it doesn't happen at the same time in every orbit ... the Moon's perigee precesses around its orbit, on account of the gravitational forces toward the Earth, the Sun, Venus, Mars, and the other planets.
Objects are known to go down because of a unbalanced force
